What about those of us without 3D displays? (What about those of us with them? :-)) What are we supposed to actually do here? If we're projecting onto a surface, should that projection be static or permit rotation of the object or motion of the field of view? What is the output supposed to look like (attach a screenshot…) –[[User:Dkf|Donal Fellows]] 13:18, 14 December 2010 (UTC)

So...what about those of use who don't ASCII terminals, but only Unicode terminals? <tt>:-)</tt> I've intentionally put some FULLWIDTH chars into the perl6 solution because it looks better. It doesn't seem quite right to refer to Unicode art as ASCII art anymore, so I suggest we start retiring the term ASCII art in favor of Unicode art. --[[User:TimToady|TimToady]] 00:55, 17 June 2011 (UTC)
 
::We can still use the term "Ascii Art", because the artwork is made of characters that appear in the Ascii table, and can be displayed on an Ascii compatible terminal (We are talking about the appearance or shape of the characters here, not the numeric codes). The terminal may use different codes for the characters, but that does not matter. I would still say that the artwork is still Ascii art, because it could be represented as such by transcoding. --[[User:Markhobley|Markhobley]] 12:46, 17 June 2011 (UTC)
:::So you're talking about explcitly limiting the charset used to printable characters in the range of 0-127? That omits [[wp:Box-drawing characters|Box-drawing characters]] and the [[wp:Miscellaneous Symbols|Miscellaneous Symbols]] range. The "FULLWIDTH" chars Larry is talking about come from the box-drawing set. (Specifically, U+2571, which I don't think was in IBM's [[wp:Code page 437|Code page 437]], either) --[[User:Short Circuit|Michael Mol]] 16:45, 17 June 2011 (UTC)
 
::::We can still provide an implementation and just attach a saying that a Unicode terminal is
required in order for it to be utilized. --17:21, 17 June 2011 (UTC)
 
:Heh it does look better in my xterm, but looks terrible in the browser. I think firefox decided to use some proportional font for those wide chars because my default monospace font doesn't have them. Also, the first cuboid still doesn't look anywhere near 2x3x4 :) --[[User:Ledrug|Ledrug]] 01:00, 17 June 2011 (UTC)
